Dr. Rast’s goal is to provide each patient with a more “normal” appearance by smoothing their contours and helping them feel good about the way they look.

What Does Body Contouring Consist Of?

There are many health and cosmetic benefits to dramatic weight loss, but the aftermath may cause the elasticity of your skin and tissues to sag because they don’t necessarily conform to your new reduced body size. In these cases, it is common to consult a plastic surgeon in Kansas City, KS about body contouring that can include a:

Facelift – to eliminate sagging of the face and neck.

Tummy tuck – to reduce the excess skin that hangs over your abdomen.

Breast lift– to reverse your flattened breast and give them a fuller look.

Lower body lift – that will shape your thighs, abdomen, and buttocks.

Thigh lift – to get rid of the sagging of your inner, mid, and outer thighs.

Arm lift – to tighten your skin and do away with sagging in your upper arms.
